- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup light cream

- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (I like to use fresh mushrooms and different ones at times to change the flavor of the dish)

- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (I like szedged or Tones because the flavor is richer)

- Defrost the crabmeat.
- Melt the butter in saucepan.
- Stir in the flour and keep stirring until smooth.
- Gradually add milk, cream, and the chicken broth.
- Keep stirring over a low heat to keep the sauce smooth and you want it to thicken.
